David Winebrenner has been re-elected as the treasurer for the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission. The commission recently amended its bylaws to allow one person to remain in that position for multiple terms.

Everyone loves summer, but the rain seems to be a constant problem in this state this year, and when it’s not raining, it’s at least in the high 90s.

But St. Charles Principal Buffy Mann remains confident that her school’s students will still have exposure to the arts in other ways.

Tony Rahn enjoys baseball, and he’s a fan of the Louisville Bats, the Cincinnati Reds AAA affiliate.
“Last year, we probably went seven or eight times. I grew up watching baseball. It’s entertaining for us, and of course, it’s a whole lot cheaper than the big leagues,” he said.

Three weeks have passed since the disappearance of Crystal Rogers and her family seeks answers.
Tommy Ballard, Rogers’ father, has been leading search efforts throughout the community since July 5, when he reported his daughter missing to police.
Ballard has said before that the search would not stop until answers are found, but with little to no information or updates being provided by investigators, the wait is taking its toll.
